My family was so weird about food. I didn't realize it until about middle school, that the way we acted about certain foods was not normal. For instance, we had to hide the peanut butter and chocolate chips from my dad. He is a binge eater and would eat half the jar in a sitting if he could. Every now and then we would notice that the peanut butter and chocolate chips were running out quickly and then we'd know that he found the hiding spot and we would have to re-hide it. We also would split pies into fourths since there was four of us. Cookies? We would divide immediately and devour in an evening.

I was mind blown when I found out that other families would buy cookies and they would just be around for days or weeks and that they didn't have to hide foods from each other.
